My Comments

Back in Tom's exuberant youth he wrote songs that hit you over the head, knocked you out...American Girl, I Need To Know, Even The Losers, The Waiting. Now he writes songs that still knock you out, but they're more like sucker punches. You don't see it coming, but then BOOM. My favorite Tom album will always be "You're Gonna Get It." The first 8 tracks are as near to perfect as an album can be, and I'll forgive "Restless" and "Baby's a Rock n Roller" because worst case scenario you're still hearing a phenomenal band.
